There's lots of dim sum...and Emerson gets some.As
27 May 2011 | by (Bradenton, Florida) – See all my reviews

As far as episodes go, I'll forever remember this one as the one where Emerson 'got some'. Do you remember the pretty but rather scary black lady who seemed to like Emerson in the polygamy episode (1.06 'Bitches')? Well, in this one she's back and Emerson hits it off VERY well with her! On the other hand, Emerson is dismayed that the chef at his beloved dim sum restaurant was murdered--and he wants to figure out who did it. Seeing the dead guy impaled the way he was turned out to be quite a treat--you just have to see it as well as his reaction when he awakens. The majority of the episode is set in this Chinese restaurant and it turns out to be a gambling den--a very strange gambling den.

Overall, while this episode is, as usual, quite strange, I also thought it not nearly among the funnier shows from this wonderful series. I am NOT saying it's bad...just not nearly as funny. Worth seeing, of course...just not all that funny. Oh, and did I say Emerson got some?!
